Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Authority involves knowing who the sponsor or publisher is. Is this a personal page? Where does it come from? Is the author or organization listed? What are the author's credentials? Purpose is determining to focus of the site. Does the site inform? Explain? Share? Disclose? Sell? What is the intended audience? Coverage tries to determine if citations are correct. Is there a balance of text and images? Currency refers to when the site was created. How often is it updated?

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One classification system for nursing informatics competencies uses technical, utility, and leadership categories. Leadership competencies address the ethical and management issues related to using IT in nursing practice, education, research, and administration. Specific leadership competencies include the application of accountability, maintenance of privacy and confidentiality, and quality assurance. Technical competencies pertain to the use of computers and other technological equipment and the use of a variety of software programs for word processing, spreadsheet and database development, presentation, referencing, and e-mail. Utility competencies address critical thinking and evidence-based practice applications. Nurses who have a utility competency recognize the relevance of nursing data for improving practice and can access multiple information sources for gathering evidence for clinical decision making.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
